Foundations

  • Place the Ace of Hearts in the separate foundation.
  • Build the remaining foundations up in suit from Ace to Nine.
  • Cards are moved individually.
  • Cards cannot be moved from the foundations.

Cells

  • Cells cannot contain more than 1 card.
  • Cards can be played onto the tableau piles or onto the foundations.
  • Empty cells can be filled with any exposed card.
  • When 4 identical face cards are exposed (in the piles and in the cells), they can be moved together to one of the cells (one of the face cards must already be in a cell or there must be a free cell). That cell cannot be used again.

Tableau piles

  • Face cards: Building within the tableau is not allowed.
  • Number cards: Build down in different suits.
  • The top card of each pile can be played onto another tableau pile, onto an empty cell or onto the foundations.
  • Sequences of cards (built down in different suits) may be moved as a unit from one pile to another.
  • When 4 identical face cards are exposed (in the piles and in the cells), tap on one of them and they will all move to a cell.
  • Empty piles can be filled with any exposed card or with a sequence of cards (built down in different suits).
